I write a lot about my favorite show, Tyler Perry’s Sistas, but rarely write about my other favorite, Tyler Perry’s The Oval. The Oval is a fast–paced, nighttime soap opera about a dysfunctional first family and the people who serve them—from the kitchen staff to security, and their family members. It’s full of drama, deception, and plot twists. You know, great soap opera stuff. The kind of stuff that had us…okay, me…skipping school to attend watch Nikki and Greg’s wedding on The Young & the Restless—I was like 6 or 7 intentionally missing the bus; or listening to our grands’ phone calls discussing how Erica Kane trapped her latest victim (man😁) with her cunning ways. Y’all, I can’t lie, those were the good old days. Anyhoo…today, The Oval is my soap opera.
Well, tonight, the 100th episode of The Oval aired. Until last week, I had no clue they were so close to reaching this milestone. I was so excited for them. Y’all, just like the cast of Sistas, they worked their butts off to get to this point. Tonight, I watched some of the cast members on Instagram Live before the episode aired, and they were so happy, so grateful, and so proud to be part of the show. One thing they all agreed on—which I have heard over the years from current and former cast members of Tyler Perry’s shows—once they joined the show, they became more than castmates, they became family. Y’all already know that melted my heart. Tears
Congratulations to the cast, the crew, and everyone connected to making this show possible, and of course, Mr. Tyler Perry. Y’all, he gets it! He’s creating families.♥️
Listen, if you are looking for a good nighttime soap opera to watch, check out Tyler Perry’s The Oval on BET (Black Entertainment Television) on Tuesday evenings. You won’t be disappointed!
